will doo...

aye... thank god, phew! he is a full brother to TORNADO and CYCLONE, all bred from the local hen i have 'Ashley'

spent a fortune on the Wife this year... i hope Elimar does a payment plan! :emoticon-0136-giggle:

Hi Allan... ye noticed 'Doolanders' only had 2 left, what a stroke of bad luck there! i sent 11 myself with one 'awol' before training started... its a tough OLR and tbh i reckon you need more luck than good judgement in saying that i have attempted to 'box clever' this year by sending 5 young birds that are bred from two hens that placed 26th and 29th in the 2012 final, the wee blue hen i activated 'FLECHA' and a purchase which was another blue hen 'ASHLEY'... whether sending the climatised blood back with a fresh cross works or not remains to be seen, but its a bit like racing at home.. i will try anything to try n win a prize! lol... good luck with the remainder of the training, lets hope we all have something for the final this year!

Training flight went well today... returns almost 96% so far so good...

TRAINING 02 Lib@1230hrs... 1169 birds 900 birds timed in 8 minutes... 9/10 home UPDATE 1084 timed!
